Strange

Famous quotes containing the word strange:

“A strange thing surely that my Heart, when love had come unsought
Upon the Norman upland or in that poplar shade,
Should find no burden but itself and yet should be worn out.
It could not bear that burden and therefore it went mad.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

“Even an extraordinary policeman seems a strange suitor for an operatic soprano. Does he sing?”
—Eric Taylor, and Leroux. Arthur Lubin. M. Villeneuve (Frank Puglia)

“But there are no fractions, the world is an integer
Like us, and like us it can neither stand wholly apart nor disappear.
When one is young it seems like a very strange and safe place,
But now that I have changed it feels merely odd, cold
And full of interest.”
—John Ashbery (b. 1927)
